Women are looking sexier these days because there's a lot of competition on the streets with all those women going into the workforce," Klemesrud quotes Mable Morgan, author of The Total Woman. Morgan adds, "They know they have to look good--they're out there in the open. Sex is one of those driving forces that must be taken into account." The argument is as old as the hills, if not older.

...past ten years. A feminist leader was once playfully asked if there would be sex after women's liberation. "Yes," she replied, "only it will be better." That seems, for many, to have come true.

...been too bad, although the past few weeks exhibit a discouraging trend. Certainly the damage hasn't been as complete as the devastation Murdoch brought to the New York Post and New York magazine.

In her new book, Fat & Thin-A Natural History of Obesity (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; $10), Beller argues that fat women are not only cuddly, loving, jovial sorts, but more sexy too.

In one survey conducted in a Chicago hospital, "fat women outscored their thin sisters by a factor of almost two to one," in terms of excitability. Only our culture's notion that fat is "morally...
